Well, I discovered that my theory on the acid reflux wasn't right, my band was too tight. A week after my adjustment in August, I ended up going in to have fluid taken out. Once again, I was able to sleep without waking up in the middle of the night feeling like I was drowning. While my band was too tight, I lost 6 pounds in a week. I have tapered off the weight loss, allowing my body to adjust to the drastic drop in weight during that week.
In the meantime, I am enjoying that fact that I am several sizes smaller than I was when I started this journey. Last night, I bought a jacket from Costco that was a "Large" I would have needed a "XX Large" six months ago.
We took our daughter down to California for college and enjoyed a beautiful walk through the Redwood National Forest. It was so nice to be able to stroll down the path and never get winded.
I have also started going back to the gym. Now I hate going to the gym and made it back one day last week. That alone is a victory. I need to start going into the dreaded place several times a week. Finding time for this in my busy schedule is a challenge.
I am posting a picture of me that was taken at my 50 pound weight loss.
